Assign Dedicated IP Address to cPanel Account

Here we discuss steps to ensure there are dedicated IP addresses available to assign to a cPanel account based on plan type.  We then cover how to assign the Dedicated IP using Root WHM.

A dedicated IP address can be used to access a website without active DNS, can improve loading times during periods of high traffic, and reduces risk of IP blocking as the IP is not being shared with anyone else.
